> 3. Blitzscale startups will be hitting Sand Hill Road in a few days. Many will take severe downrounds and have to drastically downsize as a result; others will implode altogether.

What does this mean (blitzscale, and sand hill road) ?

Sand Hill Road is a road in the SF bay area where a lot of VC firms have headquarters. People use "Sand Hill Road" to refer to the SF VC industry the same way people use "Wall Street" to refer to NYC based finance.

I'm not really what the official definition of blitzscale is (or if there is one). I assume it means scale (specifically grow head count) really fast.
